CH 31
Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight
When the bell rang for the end of class, Su Yuli grabbed his textbook and ran out. Yang Shuo didnât even have time to call him.
After a while, Su Yuli turned back. He sat down opposite Yang Shuo and said, âBrother Shuo, I suddenly remembered something. Iâd like to ask you to go somewhere for me.â
Yang Shuo put away his textbooks, âTell me, whatâs going on?â
Su Yuli said, âXiao Yuan has something to do at the moment today. And heâll be going to the nursing home later. I promised him yesterday that Iâd go visit Grandma Ding, but Iâm a little busy here, so, thank you for helping.â
Ding Yuan wasnât a student of A University. He studied at Jin University, which was also a well-known university.
Jin University wasnât far from A University. After school started, Su Yuli often went to see Ding Yuan. When he saw Ding Yuan alone, he wanted to introduce some friends to him. So every time he went, he would pull Yang Shuo with him.
Although Yang Shuo and Ding Yuan didnât communicate much, they often saw each other and were familiar with each other.
Yang Shuo knew that Grandma Ding Yuan was in bad health. He nodded: âOkay, I understand.â
âThank you, Brother Shuo.â Su Yuli smiled: âIâll send you the address and Grandma Dingâs room number later.â And then he told Shuo Yang to buy bananas.
âGrandma Ding likes to eat bananas. If they are fully ripe, youâd better buy millet bananas. Theyâre very sweet and old people can eat several at a time.â
Yang Shuo found that his friend had become very long-winded after getting married. He raised his hand as if he couldnât stand it. âI get it. Are you going or not?â
âGo, go, go!â Su Yuli grabbed Yang Shuoâs hand and shook it twice, and said sincerely, âIâll treat you to dinner another day.â
Yang Shuo laughed and said, âGo away.â
When Su Yuli reached the school gate, the car was already waiting. He pulled the door open and saw Lin Suiyan sitting in the back seat.
As soon as Lin Suiyan saw Su Yuli, he put down what he was doing and said with a smile, âCome on. Get in the car.â
After Su Yuli got into the car, Lin Suiyan handed him a new custom-made suit.
Today they were going to attend a party held by the Lin family.
During the New Year, Su Yuli had accompanied Lin Suiyan to the companyâs annual meeting. At that time, they felt that employees would be uncomfortable with the boss there. So, Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan didnât stay long before leaving.
At that time, Su Yuli was just a college student who didnât understand anything, and he couldnât fit into Lin Suiyanâs circle. He had nothing in common with those people.
People in the Lin Group knew that he was Lin Suiyanâs partner, but that was all they knew. They didnât think Su Yuli has any real abilities. They just thought that he was lucky. Since he was with Lin Suiyan, he would have no worries about food or clothing for the rest of his life.
During the cooperation project with the Wen family this time, Su Yuli has done very well, and is more confident in appearing at the reception.
Moreover, during this time, he had several right-hand men in the company, and he was also recognized and loved by everyone.
For this reception, Su Yuli had more expectations in his heart.
The car drove all the way to the hotel, and after reaching the place, Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan got out of the car.
As soon as they entered the hotel, they encountered a thin young man with black-rimmed glasses. The young man greeted them enthusiastically, âPresident Lin, Mr. Wen, good evening.â
This young man is a staff member of the company, and Su Yuli remembered meeting him.
When Su Yuli had gone to the company with Lin Suiyan for the first time, the young man recognized him before Lin Suiyan had introduced him.
Su Yuli remembered that the first thing this man said when he saw him was âHello, Mrs. President.â
At that time, Su Yuli had turned his head to look. Heâd thought to himself- itâs just me and Lin Suiyan here, where did you get âMrsâ? It wasnât until he looked at the young man that he realized that the one being called âMrs.â was him.
Su Yuli smiled and said, âJust call me Wen Jin.â
It was only then that he realized that Su Yuli was a boy, and it was really inappropriate to call him Mrs, and heâd blushed.
Su Yuli thought this man was very interesting, so he chatted with him for a while.
Su Yuli said, âHow did you know that Iâm⦠um, Suiyanâs partner?â
The young man smiled and said, âI was at the wedding. I saw it with my own eyes.â
Su Yuli had some doubts. Lin employees were indeed invited to attend his wedding with Lin Suiyan, but the people present were all middle and senior leaders. Junior employees⦠Were they invited?
Su Yuli carefully looked at the young manâs face. Was he there at the wedding?
How come he has no impression at all?
Could it be that he misremembered?
The young man may have noticed the puzzled look on Su Yuliâs face and changed his words: âMr. Wen, Iâm joking with you. How could a little guy like me go to that scene. I saw it in the newspaper.â
The young man seemed to think of that wedding, and his eyes were full of envy, âMr. Wen, you and President Lin have a really good relationship.â
Su Yuli smiled. Although the wedding he had transmigrated into wasnât for him, instead it had been to protect another person. Now that he had Lin Suiyanâs body and mind, theyâd have many long years together. He didnât feel the need to worry about such a small matter.
A prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold. Heâll just think of it as getting marriage before falling in love.
Su Yuli, who considered himself very generous and considerate asked, âWhatâs your name?â
âMy name is Liu Jie.â
When this young man named Liu Jie talked to people, he always wore a smile on his face and was courteous and considerate. He was very diligent in daily life and Su Yuli had a good impression of him.
Back in the present, Su Yuli said to Liu Jie, âGood evening. Youâre dressed very handsomely today.â
Liu Jie scratched at his head, and smiled shyly. He turned his eyes to Lin Suiyan, who remained silent beside Su Yuli, and greeted, âPresident Lin.â
Lin Suiyan nodded and said, âStop standing here. Letâs go in.â
Liu Jie seemed a little excited. He rubbed his hands, agreed, and walked into the banquet hall behind Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli.
There were already many people in the hall. When they saw Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli coming in, they all gathered around, as if waiting for Lin Suiyan to issue an order.
Lin Suiyan said calmly, âItâs all our own people here. Tonight, youâre free to do as you please You donât have to be rigid.â
Su Yuliâs assistants stood in the crowd and waved at him, and Su Yuli smiled back.
Su Yuli followed Lin Suiyan and greeted the companyâs top management. After chatting for a while, they went about their own activities.
Lin Suiyan saw Su Yuli in high spirits, and his lips curved up. He asked him: âAre you in a good mood?â
Su Yuli nodded and said, âI think Iâm getting closer to you.â
Lin Suiyan measured the distance between them with his eyes. âItâs not close enough?â
âI donât mean this distance. I mean⦠that kind of distance.â Su Yuli pondered for a while, not knowing how to describe it, so he passed it on to Lin Suiyan as a âyou knowâ look.
The smile in Lin Suiyanâs eyes deepened, how could he not know what Su Yuli meant. He said: âYouâre great. You donât need to have any psychological pressure.â
Su Yuli blinked and said strangely: âI donât have psychological pressure. Why should I have psychological pressure? I will catch up with you soon. â
Really confident.
Lin Suiyan was originally worried about Su Yuli, but now seeing him like this, he couldnât help laughing softly while relaxing. Heâd transmigrated here unexpectedly. Heâd thought it was a very unfortunate thing, and hadnât expected to pick up a treasure here.
While Su Yuli was talking to Lin Suiyan, some wine happened to be passing by, and he took a glass of champagne.
Su Yuli brought the wine glass to his lips and noticed that Lin Suiyan looked at him tenderly, but didnât stop him. He stopped and asked, âWhy didnât you stop me?â
Even now, Su Yuli still remembered the orange juice Lin Suiyan handed to him at the wedding reception.
Lin Suiyan said, âYouâre not just a student now, itâs ok to drink a little.â
Su Yuli made a long drawn-out sound. He smiled and leaned over and asked, âWell, what identity do I have?
Lin Suiyan said, âMy spouse, family, and partner.â
Su Yuli only wanted to make trouble with Lin Suiyan, but he didnât expect his answer to be so solemn and serious, and a warm current flowed in his heart.
While no one was looking, Su Yuli stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Lin Suiyanâs lips. He whispered, âIâm so happy.â
Lin Suiyan smiled softly: âThen keep being happy.â
Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan were so sweet, they didnât notice a figure in the corner staring at them, their eyes red with jealousy.
In the middle of the reception, someone proposed to play a game and set up a prize for this.
They were playing a game of guessing idioms. The rules were very simple. They were in pairs and werenât allowed to speak. One of them was responsible for performing the idioms using body movements, while the other was responsible for guessing. The more idioms that were guessed correctly within the specified time, the richer the reward will be.
Su Yuli often saw such games in variety shows, and was very interested in them, so he took Lin Suiyan over to watch.
After a few drinks, everyone felt relaxed and bolder. They werenât sure who suggested it but soon Lin Suiyan and Su Yuli were pulled up.
Su Yuli put down his glass and smiled: âWell, everyone is in such a good mood today. Letâs have some fun.â
He said to Lin Suiyan, âIâll perform. Suiyan, you can guess.â
Lin Suiyan agreed: âOkay.â
The two had a tacit understanding and guessed more than a dozen idioms in just one minute, with a very high accuracy rate.
Su Yuli returned to Lin Suiyanâs side, with bright eyes, he asked, âDid I do well?â
Lin Suiyan nodded, took a cup of warm water from the side and handed it to Su Yuli.
The companyâs people watched their interaction and shouted that they were being abused.
A little girl said, âI found that Mr. Lin and Mr. Wen came here today to show their affection. Ah, itâs so sour, lemony.â
Several lively girls next to them agreed.
Su Yuli drank half a glass of water and said with a smile, âNo need to be sour. You were told that you can bring your family members, but who told you not to bring them.â
The girl said, âMr. Wen, we are all single dogs, and there is no one to take with us.â
Su Yuli said, âThen go after someone you like. If you donât take action, theyâll be taken away by someone else.â
Someone nearby booed: âMr. Wen, you seem to have a lot of experience. Can you elaborate?â
Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, Su Yuli couldnât help raising his head and said mysteriously, âDo you want to know?â
Everyone nodded.
He smiled, âI wonât tell you.â
Having done his damage, Su Yuli said, âOkay, okay, letâs continue playing the game. Donât you want all the prizes?â He also told the young girls and boys that if they had someone they liked, they must take the initiative.
He looks like a worried uncle and aunt.
Su Yuliâs explanation is that he is happy and wants to see others happy.
Su Yuli watched for a while, then leaned into Lin Suiyanâs ear and whispered, âIâm going to the bathroom and will be right back.â
Lin Suiyan was talking to a person beside him, and nodded when he heard him. âGo ahead.â
The game of guessing idioms attracted everyoneâs attention at the reception, and no one noticed that after Su Yuli left, a thin figure followed him into the bathroom.
When the figure passed by the table, he also took away a wine bottle on the table.
And for all this, Su Yuli knew nothing
